With RD Licensing Diagnoser you can check for potential errors (can be opened through Server Manager > Tools > Remote Desktop Services).

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\TermService\Parameters\LicenseServers The license server can be also set through the registry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\RCM\Licensing Core This registry key worked wonderfully though: I had problems with the licensing mode not being applied properly.

Server Manager > Remote Desktop Services > Overview > Tasks > Edit Deployment properties In a production environment, usually there is a separate server hosting the RDS Licensing service. Two things are needed in order for licensing to work properly: The license server and licensing mode. The three roles (RD Connection Broker, RD Web Access and RD Session Host) will be installed.Īfter the installation a license warning will be shown in the Notification Center. The server should be automatically selected. Session-based deployment enables multi-session support on the server.

I went for the Quick Start because my deployment is fairly basic. Start by adding the RDS role through Server Manager. It was a pretty straightforward installation, but minor things might work differently compared to previous versions of Windows Server (I was migrating off Windows Server 2012 R2). I got tasked with installing a brand new Windows Server 2019 with the Remote Desktop Services (RDS) role.
